Yeah, I was pretty shocked today to find that it had advanced from emotional abuse to worse.

Stella's evil . . . which is why I'm looking forward to Friday. :mis:

I.am.Natla:

*spoilers* highlight to view:

Phil is getting married to a woman named Stella. Phil's young son Ben was at first very frustrated, fearing that his dead mother would be replaced. After weeks of humiliating, he finally decided to be nice to Stella, as it was what his dad wanted. However, Stella had other ideas, and as been both physically and emotionally torturing Ben.

*bigger spoilers - Friday's upcoming twist* highlight to view:

On the day of the wedding, Ben finally convinces to his father the horrible things Stella has been doing to him. Phil chases Stella to a factory rooftop, where she falls to her death . . . but did she jump, or was she pushed?

I don't think it's gone nearly into the realms of evil as it could've.
So far she's only:

Pinched him, scolded his hand, threatened him, made him think these things were normal.

Only tonight I think she's started to pick up evil again, which she should've done ages ago - trash his picture of his mother, suggest he isn't Phil's son.
She could've done loads more to him! Plenty more evil twisting of his mind, because as it stands I just see her as a mentalist, rather than a mental villain.

Friday night? I'll be too excited about Deathly Hallows... I doubt I'll be watching the TV!

Stella starts hurting Ben physically, and the blood seeps through on his shirt on the wedding day, and that's when things start to unravel.

I watch it 'cos I love Eastenders but I do find that storyline very disturbing.

I have to calm my urge to punch her in the face lol (same with Charlie - Big Brother :mis: )

This stella bird makes my blood boil, i remember when ben first arrived at the square and me an my miss's both agreed he was a right little :cen:, all he did was complain and moan but he had just lost his mum bless him, but now this psycho stella mentally abusing him and inflicting all kinds of hell i just want to rush on in and save the poor boy and tell phil this out of control nutball needs discipline.

the storyline is really interesting and its good because its making everyone more aware about abuse and signs etc i think they have done the storyline very well and its certainly got people more aware about abuse.

I always loved Janine. :D

me too. and Cindy. Anyone that tries to kill Ian Beale is great in my book. I hope she does return as a ghost.

It's not quite as a ghost that she's rumoured to come back though ;)

Spoileryrumourythingy:
Her death was apparently faked, and Cindy was placed in hiding under a witness protection act.

Wouldn't mind seeing her again, I can only remember her getting off with David (?)Wicks and trying to have Ian shot.
